The Legend of Heroes is a RPG series which got its first Playstation release on the PSP a few years ago, titled “Trails in the Sky“. I played it a lot, and loved every second on it. You can imagine how happy I was to learn from NIS America (which is publishing this game in Europe with XSEED Games taking over publishing duties in North America) that a new website has been launched, and offers new information about this upcoming release, namely new features of the game as well as a release window!

Now, the follow-up “Trails of Cold” is set to release later this year on both the PS3 and the Vita, which made me VERY happy! Another good thing I noticed in the new site is that the story can also be enjoyed by newcomers, meaning that completing the previous game isn’t mandatory to play this one.

The events of Trails of Cold Steel are expertly told so that longtime Trails veterans and newcomers to the series alike can equally enjoy its detailed, highly nuanced storyline.

As we can see from the various screenshots they provided on the new site, this game is a HUGE step up from the previous PSP-only release.

I’m REALLY hyped for this new game! Any of you interested in this RPG? Let us know in the comments below!

About the game:

Taking place on the same continent as the fan favorite Trails in the Sky offshoot of Nihon Falcom’s storied The Legend of Heroes franchise, Trails of Cold Steel (Sen no Kiseki in Japanese) is the first in the series to tread Erebonian soil and explore the inner political conflicts of this oft-mentioned powerhouse nation in detail. With a standalone story that also delves into the expansive lore that has become synonymous with the series, players can enjoy school life and bond with fellow students to earn new abilities in battle, take advantage of speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed “ARCUS” system, and take part in dramatic events that stand to shift the balance of power between Erebonia’s feuding nobility and commoners.
